Hello from the Hoosier Heartland jmac. Welcome back. :) I haven't flown my SPARK for years but recently checked my batteries and all nine took a charge!! The remote even had some power left in it. .

Below Celsius at 0 degrees is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. No problem. As stated above, the cold weather is tougher on the PIC than the SPARK. 🥶 If flying in the cold, KEEP THE SPARE BATTERIES WARM BEFORE USE ! Don't let them get cold. Carry them in your pocket and change them out as needed...

Looks like it missed the creek / river, but may end up in a tree on the property. Good luck with the SAR. 👍

If it lost GPS, it went to Atti-Mode which means it won't stay in a spot, but drift with the wind if there is no stick input. The barometer on the SPARK should keep it at the same height, but will drift in the wind until the battery dies and it lands somewhere. The RTH won't work if it lost GPS...

I have a NEO and it flies fine. It's no SPARK but I like it. The crashes are most likely pilot error (Read the manual). It doesn't like low light conditions and people fly it in a dark environment which may bring chaos to the flight. I've crashed a few times with no damage but I'm a...

Totally agree. Nice pictures. 👍 .
